Why do people insist on being totally anal retentive about totally
random connection to random ports? Why not just secure your system
in the first place so random people knocking on ports don't stumble on
something they're not supposed to to begin with? If you maintain a
secure system, people knocking on the wrong host is the least of your
concerns.
